点评:We went on a week long catamaran charter with Brett Johnston (our captain) and Jess Tinkler (our chef) with our family, a total of 7 people, and could not have had a better experience.
This is our second trip with Brett and he ensured that our experience felt new and special. He took us to some of our favorite spots from the rest before (Jost Van Dyke, Soggy Dollar, and Norman Island/Willy T’s), as well as new anchoring in secluded Solder Bay and a stop in Bitter End. He is an expert in finding the best snorkeling spots—we saw a reef shark, turtles, and a spotted ray during our trip. He was also a great bartender for cocktail hour while Jess prepped us food.
Jess made excellent food through the trip, with my favorite being a steak followed by a traditional South African dessert. We got a great variety of fish like mahi mahi, snapper, and cod. All her food was creative, fresh, and accommodated our family’s vast preferences.
The accommodations we had on the Auto Pirate 590, made meal time and game nights feel super spacious and comfortable throughout the trip. There were multiple places to sit, chat, have a drink, or dry off all day/night. The cabins had great storage and the showers were super functional and spacious.
Our family had the best time with Brett and Jess, we highly recommend and already planning to go back again next year!
翻译:我们一家七口(包括船长Brett Johnston和厨师Jess Tinkler)乘坐双体帆船进行了一周的包船之旅,体验棒极了!
这是我们第二次和Brett一起出海,他确保了这次旅行既新鲜又特别。他带我们去了之前最喜欢的几个地方(约斯特·范·戴克岛、索吉·多拉尔和诺曼岛/威利T餐厅),还带我们去了僻静的索尔德湾抛锚,并在苦尽甘来停留。他非常擅长寻找最佳浮潜地点——我们在旅途中看到了礁鲨、海龟和斑点鳐。在Jess为我们准备食物的时候,他还是个很棒的调酒师。
Jess在整个旅程中都烹饪了美味佳肴,我最喜欢的是牛排,以及之后的南非传统甜点。我们还品尝了各种各样的鱼类,比如鲯鳅、鲷鱼和鳕鱼。她做的所有食物都创意十足、新鲜美味,而且完全满足了我们全家人的各种口味。
我们在“Auto Pirate 590”号房车上的住宿环境非常宽敞舒适,让我们在整个旅程中都能享受到舒适的用餐和游戏时光。船上有很多地方可以坐下来聊天、喝点东西,或者整天/整夜地擦干身体。小木屋的储物空间充足,淋浴间也超级实用宽敞。
我们全家和Brett和Jess度过了最美好的时光,我们强烈推荐他们,并且已经在计划明年再去一次了!
